Workplace Safety Awareness Council Blog

Well today is April 1st and unless you've been hiding under a rock you've probably been hit with some sort of "April Fools Story". It happens every year, we read a story and believe its true until we remember - "Oh wait - you got me, its April Fools Day". Our twist on April Fools Day is a little different. . . .

We've just completed a video and we're calling it "Safety is no Joke". Its a great collection of "funny" safety pictures (and we're using the term "funny" very loosely). The best part is the video is synced to the dueling banjo music from the movie Deliverance! You can't want this video without smiling - I promise!


Be sure to sign up for our e-newsletter at the end and do us a huge favor and forward the link to a friend and help us get the word out - Safety is no Joke!

Just arrived back from the NFM&T conference in Baltimore and we had a great group.
The general feeling we're getting out there is that safety managers are more interested in the return on investment of safety than ever before. And it makes great sense! A recent study by Liberty Mutual found that for every dollar spent on safety you can expect a $3 - $4 return on the $1 investment! That's pretty powerful stuff, in any economy.

Think it doesn't work? While working with a group of municipal power companies in Florida, one risk manager was able to reduce his company's workers comp and liability insurance costs from $1 million dollars to just above $375,000 in a three year period. That's not a one time savings of $625,000 - its an annual savings of $625,000 based on smart safety goals - $625,000 each and every year!

Imagine what a similar savings would do for your company. better yet, imagine what a similar savings would do for you personally. Think job security, a healthy raise, new doors opened, the ability upgrade your position and salary. Pretty good options, especially in this economy!

To find out how to achieve similar savings in your organization, click on this link for a recent webinar that we conducted. This webinar may just be the jump start you need to make some serious changes in your organization and career:
